Wow, that is a loaded question The following is a generalization, andcould vary greatly depending on your business requirements.

1. Decide where you want to be in SharePoint Server 2007. Iwouldn't assume you simply need an upgrade. SharePoint Server 2007offers rich functionality beyond what you had in 2003. I would prototypea 2007 server system first, using your 2003 system for your baserequirements gathering.

2. I would strongly suggest SharePoint Server 2007 Core Techtraining first. This will help you prototype a system that will meetyour requirements

3. Design your 2003-2007 migration. I would take a 2003-2007upgrade class 2nd.. While you might think this is out of order, taking(or your staff) the 2007 class first will allow you to see how 2007 willmeet your business/technical requirements, and not limit yourself to theprevious version's features.
